Actually I remember this "theory" being mentioned a while back because of something like the chip in the controller is the same/similar as the one in the PSP Battery. I have to do some searching to find it, hopefully someone else has a better memory and a link to what I am talking about.

THE POWER CABLE!!!!!!!!!!! seriously why work on a DS3 version? i mean if you wanted to really do this, why would you ruin a good controller? Hackers wow, hopefully Sony gets a fix and ban any one of them who goes online

How has the PS3 been cracked wide open? As far as I know, the only thing that has happened is a USB device running dubious code tricked the PS3 into thinking it's a debug unit. After that the code was extracted with claims of putting it to other USB devices. One would still assume the process is the same no matter if it is the official PSJailbreak or an imitator. All of which could be easily defeated by a firmware update that alters the USB settings on startup. So, once again, how is the PS3 cracked wide open?

Has no one heard of jtag xboxs? they can run all sorts of piracy niceties. Everything from snes emulators to my personal favourite Games on Demand iso convertor. The PS3 is still the most unhackable console of the previous 2 gens. Fact. And we still havent seen Sonys response, which will probs render the hack void.

big_silky I see your here talking crap too. the Xbox and the 360s security were laughably easy to hack.Microsoft might as well have added that as a feature. 'Easily broken for your hacking needs' BTW I wish these idiots would keep these theories to themselves. I thought this was a gaming site, not a helpful hints and tips and free advertising for criminals site. Mods should be banning this crap not splashing it on for all to see.
